A q-switched thulium-doped fiber laser with a graphene thin film based saturable absorber

We demonstrate a simple, compact and low cost Q-switched thulium-doped fiber laser (TDFL) operating at 1844.1 nm by exploiting a graphene based saturable absorber (SA) in conjunction with 1552 nm pumping. The SA is fabricated by sandwiching the graphene thin film between two fiber connectors. The...
